A Note from Mrs Gent

December 7, 2007

I apologize for letting the website get behind.  I've been under the weather with a bronchial infection, missed a couple of days of work due to illness, and as all students and parents know, once you get behind, it's difficult to get caught up! 

The website is a the bottom of my priority pile - after day to day instruction and paperwork.  I'm just now at a place where I can get to it, so hopefully things should be back on track and it won't happen again! 

 

We're beginning Chapter 5 next week!
